hali tuko maskini sana hapa. Hizo pesa zote wanaweka nje za nini? Ukisikia Kenya uchumi yake ni mbaya. Nikumaanisha ya<br />

kwamba hakuna watu wanaangalia kuhusu zile pesa. Ukimchangua MP fulani, akipata kiwango cha pesa, anaweka huko<br />

nyingi, kuliko zile anazo hapa. Kwa nini kusiwe na kiwango ambacho wanaruhusiwa kuweka inje, ikiwa ataenda inje kuitumia.<br />

Ningeuliza, zote zile ziko inje hata ya Moi, hata ya nani, zote ziletwe hapa Kenya, ingalau tuwe tukizitumia, kama sisi ni<br />

wananchi ya Kenya. Uchumi inazoroteka kwa sababu, Kenya inautajiri ya kutosha, lakini pesa zote ziko inje.<br />

Com: Wambua: Asante sana Peter Mwangi. Sasa tutamuita Dr. F. M. Kamau.<br />

Dr. Francis Kamau: Francis Mburu Kamau are my names, and I want to confirm most <strong>of</strong> the things that have been said here.<br />

First and foremost, after this Constitution is made, it should and its a must, it be taught in schools, and be examinable. Our<br />

children should learn our Constitution, and they should be tested about it, and they should know it. We are talking <strong>of</strong> a thing we<br />

have never heard, we are talking <strong>of</strong> a thing we do not know, and those who know it, have been taking advantage <strong>of</strong> oppressing<br />

us. I want to concur with those people who say that, the Provincial Administration should be abolished. A poor country like<br />

ours, cannot afford to have the President going on foreign tours, every month. So there must be an act in our Constitution,<br />

which restricts the number <strong>of</strong> times the President should be away from this country.<br />

We should also have an act in our Constitution which says that education must be compulsory for every child born in this<br />

country. The Constitution should have an act which says, that our industries, our workers, our businesses must be protected.<br />

We must protect our industries, we must protect our businessmen, otherwise we shall remain under colonialists all the time, if<br />

we don’t have an act which is protecting our industries.<br />

We should, we all know that Kenyans are God fearing people, and we love him, but we have gone to an extent <strong>of</strong> misusing the<br />

name <strong>of</strong> God. There are so many religions in this country that one fails to understand, which direction he is going to follow. We<br />

should have an act in our Constitution, restricting the number religions that should be allowed in our country.<br />

Land policy should be looked at. I see no need why an individual should have a thousand acres in Kitale, Rift Valley, Kiambu,<br />

and the act does not say anything about the utlization <strong>of</strong> that land. If you have one hundred acres, there must be a caption in the<br />

act, which says what you should do with that land. You are a permanent secretary, and you have two thousand acres in Kitale,<br />

doing nothing with it, all you are thinking about is to import maize, and yet you can grow maize in your shamba.<br />

Retirement age in this country should be uplifted to 62 years <strong>of</strong> age, because we waste alot <strong>of</strong> brains. When one reaches the<br />

age <strong>of</strong> 50 years, the age <strong>of</strong> 60 years, that is where the brain is, and you are told to go home. That you are not useful any more,<br />

you cannot work, and yet you are the most experienced person at that particular time.<br />

We would like to say, that when a child reaches the age <strong>of</strong> 18 years, and he is registered, he has an ID card; he should at the<br />

55
